Something has been confusing me... I am looking at purchasing a 5000# utility winch which has 1/4" wire rope and have already gotten the accessory 10k# pulley block that is listed for it. In the mean time, while my income catches up with my spending, I was wanting to get about 50' of 1/4" wire rope to use with the block while pulling with my tractor (down trees mostly). Now comes the confusing part. 1/4" wire rope, from what I have seen on spec charts, has a rating of only 1400#. So, how can it be used in a 5k# winch?:unknown:
